House ignores Bush, rejects $700B bailout bill

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Now you are saying it seems that the government should come in and bail out the financials so regular people do not go through what I have had to do in the last 2 years. I say BS. It is a cycle and correction that was due and needs to continue. Next time we may all listen and watch out more.

Go ahead, tighten credit even more.

No one will hurt more than 'regular people'.

Heaven forbid people actually have to work for their money...

Oh, spare me the working-class hero garbage.

What are you whining about, Curry Man? YOU work for your money....

So do the guys at Wall Street. Just because they wear suits doesn't mean they don't work.

SRVT -

Do you understand that many of the people who took those loans SHOULD have been renters, and NOT homeowners? A flood of foreclosed homes on the markets will NOT empower new homeowners. The markets have TIGHTENED lending guidelines in the last several months. Tighter underwriting guidelines; a glut of real estate inventory; and falling wages does not equal loads of people out there buying their first house and putting up a white picket fence around it.

Hell yes, I'm selfish. I love myself. But not at the expense of my neighbor. I'm just not that way. Think I don't work hard too? Think again. I just not inclined to pray for the misfortune of others to get me what I need. If I did that, then I would have 'cut a corner'.

This ill that would be placed upon the rest of the population would have very little affect, especially compared to most other first world countries where people do things in moderation, not excess. Joe CheeseFries might be finding himself making a garden, or eating less, and could live a few more years. See, not so selfish. Then again, he could spend out his ###, and still eat it and have a McHeartAttack if he chooses. People also might find themselves actually occupying, as first time owners, these houses, rather than renting all the damn time to someone owning their 234092304th house, playing the cheating game of using a renter to pay off his umpteenth house.

...

Nice!

I never compared it to another industry at all and never said that. The housing went bye bye. My industry was swimming in money and gorging on the flow of money. It went belly up way before this financial melt down. The financial melt down in this instance is the same thing in this instance.

The trucking industry has always been in consumables. It is the bread and butter and always will be. The housing lending boom ignited a huge amount of new product for us. It looked great for a long time. The industry I am in grew and bought new trucks and enlarged their capacity and bought out smaller oufits and went in a feeding frenzy. The housing industry went kaboom. 2 years now we have been in turmoil. I expected it and always have my funds set aside to tide me over.

Now you are saying it seems that the government should come in and bail out the financials so regular people do not go through what I have had to do in the last 2 years. I say BS. It is a cycle and correction that was due and needs to continue. Next time we may all listen and watch out more.

You're right that it would bail out the idiots who participated in inflating their wages and credit (can only blame them so much for wanting to live in a house -- isn't that part of the "American Dream"?), it was more about lenders not having Uncle Sam hovering over their shoulders to make sure the people they were lending to could actually afford it, and to make sure these idiots weren't signing off on ARMs whilst not understanding what the hell they're in for.

I say we all pray for government help! Or better yet a ticket to France! Sink or swim mofos.

Actually if Exxon execs brought out the profits that they have then they deserve to feed at the trough while the getting is good. The price of fuel may have gone up and cost my industry more to move product but I assure you we pass the cost along. We do not work for free.

I disagree. They don't actually DO anything. And they certainly don't do enough of anything to warrant their salaries.

But I admit that I am prejudiced against Wall Street-type dorks.

Do too many people own homes?

But I admit that I am prejudiced against Wall Street-type dorks.

Prejudice is right.

If idiots signed off on ARMs then they deserve what they get (Forclosure). It was not that long before when the same thing happened. Nobody seems to remember.

Well holy #######.

Are you mad because somebody took your cookie the last two years and now you think everybody else ought to suffer also?

That's kinda not right. Especially because A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVEN'T HAD IT SO HOT the last few years. This crappy economy didn't swell up overnight.

Wages have not been increasing to the rate of inflation for several quarters. Heating costs are soaring. Old people are choosing medicine or food. What's the percentage of Americans with no health insurance? Milk costs $1.50 more a gallon than it did 9 months ago.

You don't seriously think everybody else has been rollling in dough all this time, do you?

Tighter credit == bad for regular people.

You think my Wall Street buddy who got a $300k bonus last year (she's 25) is gonna hurt when she gets laid off? No, sir.

But when credit is tight, regular people will.

Do you understand that you are campaigning FOR regulation?

Do you think we will get regulation WITHOUT the bailout?

Oh wait.....we will. After the collapse...............
